I decided to pick one up around 7 months ago since I pretty much bought all the games I wanted most for PS2, GC, and Xbox. All I have to say it's one of the best things I ever bought. I started off with only one game when I got it, but ended up with around 38 games in 7 months. I'm constantly playing it and the games are very good. I was very impressed how great the games looked, although most games don't have very good sound. If you like 2-D gaming, I definitely recommend it. I really wished I bought mine earlier.
